Kaleb Cowart belted a two-run homer on Saturday, propelling the Angels to a 3-2 victory over the Tigers in Detroit.

His two-run shot came off of Michael Fulmer during a three-run rally in the third inning and would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. Cowart, who got the start at third base on Saturday, finished the night 2-for-3 and is now hitting .286/.310/.500 with one homer and three RBI in his limited time with the Angels. Aug 27 - 11:26 PM

Angels recalled 3B Caleb Cowart from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Cowart gives the Angels some depth at third base with Yunel Escobar (concussion) on the shelf. He'll also get reps at second base. Johnny Giavotella was designated for assignment in the corresponding roster move. Cowart has one hit in six big league at-bats this season. Aug 20 - 7:41 PM

Angels INF prospect Kaleb Cowart supplied three hits including a solo home run Sunday in a loss for Triple-A Salt Lake.

The 24-year-old has homered in two straight games and now carries a .319 average over 116 second-half at-bats. Cowart ranks second in the Pacific Coast League with 33 doubles and has also logged 18 steals on 22 attempts this year. The former first-round pick has made a few cameos in Anaheim over the last two seasons, hitting .173 across 52 at-bats in the majors. Aug 15 - 3:47 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
